In pasture, on the gentle S-facing slope of a low ridge. An oval area (36 N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a gapped earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-N and by a scarp (H 0.9m) N-SW. An intervening flat-bottomed dry fosse (Wth 7m) is evident SW-S. An outer bank (Wth 2.25m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.2m) is evident NW-SE with a short section surviving along the W arc. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. A N-S field boundary bisects the interior. The inner bank is truncated at W by a N-S hedgerow.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
